| Project/Volunteer's Life: |
There are many things a volunteer can do to make their time a very successful one in the orphanage project. You’ll care for the children in a variety of different ways. You’ll tidy their beds, help them change clothes if they’re very young, make sure they brush every morning before breakfast and eat properly, drop them to school, help them finish their work and teach them English and other subjects in the evenings. You can also help in the kitchen, clean the orphanage and participate in other activities that your orphanages does to entertain children when they’re not attending schools. |

| Project Locations: |
Orphanage projects are available in Cape Town (home to Table Mountain, Victoria & Alfred Waterfront, and City Bowl). South Africa's multicultural metropolitan cities are renowned for its deep rooted African cultural atmosphere where visitors are always welcomed. It's full of contrasts: from traditional culture and history to modern infrastructure and most of the amenities you would expect from a city. Volunteers can organize several combinations of potential excursions during and after the project to visit places of interest. There is a tourist infrastructure already in place that the volunteers can use during weekends. For example: national parks & harbors, hiking, markets, museums, restaurants, nightclubs, festivals/carnivals, wine tasting, art galleries, whale watching, beaches, hotels, and many more.
